Smoky Mountain Knife Works Discount Codes in September 2026

Yes, SMKW will match a lower price if you find a lower price on any competitors page (shipping is included in the total). This policy helps the most with on-brand knives like Case, Benchmade, and Spyderco, especially if they are running a live code. Those brands tend to show the same price at every dealer, so a competitor's short-term code is often the only way you'll spot a lower number.

To ask for a match, email their customer service with "Price Match" in the subject line and a link to the competitor's in-stock listing. Send it before you check out rather than after.

Before you email, compare the competitor's full checkout cost against their $95 free-shipping mark. Once your SMKW cart clears the threshold, the free delivery often keeps the cost lower even when the item itself runs a couple dollars higher elsewhere.

Also, some items are off the table. You can't get a price match on antiques, collectibles, discontinued products, or drop-shippers that don't physically stock the knife. Since SMKW runs 9 a.m. daily flash deals, you can get an even lower price without having to ask for a price match.

You get 90 days to return a knife to SMKW for a full refund as long as it's unused, unsharpened, and still in its original box.

The unsharpened rule also helps when you're torn between two knives. You can order both, handle and carry them for a week to see which one you like better, then return the other for a refund. Keep both away from a sharpening stone, and hold onto the original boxes, since a sharpened blade or a missing box voids the return.

Before thinking of returning your items, do note that the return shipping is on you unless the knife arrived damaged or they sent the wrong item to you. On a lower-priced knife, the postage might deduct a good chunk of what you'd get back, so think carefully before placing your order. How you paid matters too. Orders placed through PayPal only refund as store credit, so pay with a credit card when you want the choice of getting actual cash back.

Also, ammo is considered a final sale and can't be returned. Meanwhile, collectibles returns are handled by a separate team at [email protected]. It's smart to check the terms on those before you buy.

Yes, any order over $95 ships free to the 48 contiguous states. Most of what SMKW carries falls in the mid-range price bracket, so a single knife is usually enough to clear that bar. You might have trouble reaching the threshold when you're buying only small accessories. If that's the case, the standard flat-rate shipping starts at $6.99.

One thing not to bother with is joining the email list for the shipping perk. The email offer is free shipping at $95, which is the same number everyone already gets. Only opt for the sign-up for flash-sale alerts and rewards points, just not for any special break on delivery.

There are two examples where the free shipping might not apply since a chunk of the country can't receive them at all:

• Ammo: SMKW blocks ammo shipments to nine states and territories, including California, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Hawaii. They also only ship with FedEx Ground, don't take PayPal, and can't be bundled with automatic knives in the same order.

• Automatic knives: Off-limits in a different mix of places like Chicago, Washington, D.C., Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, and New York.

In this case, even a full $200 order won't go out the door when a single blocked item is in it.
